Abstract

Background: The current nursing faculty shortage rapidly has expanded the need to hire faculty. New faculty are clinical experts in their own practice; however, many lack formal knowledge about the academic setting, making the transition from practice to academia difficult.

Method: A qualitative descriptive study was developed to identify how new faculty transition into their academic positions. The sample consisted of 12 clinical nursing faculty participants.

Results: A total of 12 themes emerged: awful day as faculty, career plans, compensation, finding my place in academia, great day at clinical, "I wanted to be successful," preparation for the faculty role, struggling, student experiences, support, lack of support, and surprise. Finding ways to recruit and retain qualified faculty is imperative.

Conclusion: Inadequate support for transitioning to the faculty role may contribute to faculty turnover; developing a strong mentoring program may help retain qualified faculty. [J Nurs Educ. 2023;62(8):433-442.].

“寻找我在学术界的位置”:了解新教师的经验。

背景:当前护理师资短缺迅速扩大了招聘师资的需求。新教师在自己的实践中是临床专家;然而，许多人缺乏关于学术环境的正式知识，使得从实践到学术的过渡变得困难。方法:一项定性描述性研究被开发，以确定新的教师如何过渡到他们的学术职位。样本由12名临床护理教师组成。结果:总共出现了12个主题:作为教师的糟糕的一天，职业规划，补偿，在学术界找到我的位置，在临床的美好的一天，“我想成功”，为教师角色做准备，挣扎，学生经历，支持，缺乏支持和惊喜。寻找招聘和留住合格教师的方法势在必行。结论:对教师角色转变支持不足可能导致教师流失;制定一个强有力的指导计划可能有助于留住合格的教师。[J].中国生物医学工程学报，2009;31(8):433-442。
